Remove Filter  | It seems like users are doing exactly what Nintendo intended when they created the fancy Wii controller. Users are having so much fun, they're getting carried away when playing their video games, and [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RkdihGX7iWM&eurl="]literally throwing it around[/URL]. The Wii-mote, a uniquely designed game controller for Nintendo's Wii game console, works … |
| | Why doesn't everyone switch to Linux? Is it because it's too difficult? Not exactly. The problem with Linux isn't because you have to run millions of commands to start it up, it's because it gives users too many options. Commercial companies like Microsoft standardize their product when they create it. …  |
| | Ever since computer's hard drives became large enough to hold substantial amounts of information, people have been trying to store music on their computers. Which is fine until they start "sharing" it. Since the beginning of music sharing, record companies have been trying to halt this illegal activity. Online music …  |
| | MySpace seems to be where all the kids go -- it's the online meeting place for a lot of young people. But it also seems to be a place where pedophiles hang out, something that [URL="http://www.pcworld.com/article/id,128087-page,1-c,internetlegalissues/article.html"]MySpace is trying to change[/URL]. It seems as though MySpace is trying to incorporate one … |
| | [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LBfLjqfYKM0"]Oh boy[/URL]. If Kevin Rose, the founder of [URL="http://www.digg.com"]Digg[/URL], is correct, he may soon be facing a lawsuit big enough to cripple a small country. In his podcast, he gets drunk and tells "vague details" of the much rumored iPhone. He starts off by saying, "I have a little bit … |

| | Ever had trouble remembering if that website ended in .com, .net, or .org? Well, your troubles just got a whole lot worse. [url]http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/7475986.stm[/url] "We're running out of .com addresses? Let's just let people register whatever extension they want!" Brilliant ICANN, just brilliant.

| | Would it be possible to disable smileys within [noparse][icode][/noparse] tags? For example, [icode]MainNamespace::[b][/b]SystemClass::[b][/b]sca[b][/b]red::[b][/b]PThread();[/icode] Turns into [icode]MainNamespace::SystemClass::scared::PThread();[/icode] Okay, exaggerated example. But you get the point.  |
| | I think we've all observed the trend of eye candy incrementally increasing in the user interface of consumer operating systems, particularly the commercial ones. Vista's Aero and OS X's Aqua are perfect examples: both use large amounts of transparency, and contain "sparkle" in the windows designed to enhance a user's … |
| | [URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kHmvkRoEowc&NR=1[/URL] [URL]http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20750575/[/URL] It vaguely reminds me of a recent incident on DaniWeb IRC. But I thought news sites had better things to do than glorify little whiney babies throwing temper tantrums.  |
| | So here's the deal -- I'm dual-booting Mac OS X and Windows XP on my MacBook. On Mac OS X, I have the clock synced to network time. And, being a good Unix system, it sets the system time to GMT. That's all fine and dandy until I install Windows, … |
| | Since this became a debate in the other thread, I thought it would have enough weight to become its own thread. Thus, I'm posting this here. If you want to whine about code tags, then take a looksie over here: [url]http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread84443.html[/url] Basically I'm asking for your opinion on a code … |
| | Sorry, this is a little bit late. I'm just curious regarding your thoughts on the blog comment order: do you find that the benefits of being able to quickly see the latest comments on a particular blog entry outweigh the disadvantages of having to read everything backwards, now that blog … |

| | Hey everyone, isn't Mac OS X great? The only problem is that a lot of open-source software is only for Linux. Well, there will never be an end-all solution, but there's many ways of making it better. Here are the solutions I recommend: - Dual-booting Mac OS X and Linux … |

| | Hello all, This is a relatively simple problem I ran into when designing my site, so hopefully you can help me out here. I have a div like so (for example): [code=html]<div class="box">testing</div>[/code] And here's the CSS: [code=css].box { margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; width: 50px; color: red; background-color: blue; }[/code] … |
| | With the massive amounts of text editors out there, you'd think it would be easy to find a decent freeware code editor for Mac OS X. Well, not exactly. The numbers are deceiving because:[LIST] [*]Most "good" editors for Mac OS X were really written for Linux or Windows, and they … |
| | As many of you are already aware of, I was the winner of [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread63237.html"]DaniWeb's end-of-the-year blogging competition[/URL]. So, Dani offered me the choice of both a Sony Cybershot digital camera and an Xbox 360, or I could trade those in and get a Dell 24" flatpanel display. So... I originally …  |

| | As many of you probably already know, yesterday DaniWeb received a massive amount of spam threads. I want to thank the moderators for deleting all the spam; it makes me really grateful that we have them here. However would DaniWeb manage without the "flag bad post" link? ;) |
| | The new line numbers inserted when using syntax coloring code tags is causing me problems when copying and pasting code. Here are some examples: [URL]http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/post311344-32.html[/URL] I copy and paste the code to my editor.

| | In response to [URL="http://www.daniweb.com/techtalkforums/thread25111.html"]this thread[/URL], I have created a poll asking for supporters of a Game Development forum. It's something that I find DaniWeb is lacking, it would attract a good crowd of game developers and programmers, and would keep game programming discussions seperate from other forums such as the … |
| | I'm writing this to let you know that I've found "bug" in the Dashboard widget iStat. It's not a bug per se, but you should know about it. iStat offers many statistics about your Mac -- amount of time running since reboot, temperature, fan speed, etc, etc. However, if you … |
| | Has there been some sort of new word filter put in place that automatically stars out profanity?

| | I've noticed this problem, and it's really been annoying me: Whenever I click the unordered or numbered list button, it prompts me for all the items I want in the list. However, the newlines that are supposed to be automatically inserted are all at the end. Not that the lists … |

| | [IMG]http://rightonthruhere.thejefffiles.com/linuxsecurity/tux.jpg[/IMG] [U][B]Linux server security guide[/B][/U] A lot of servers out there use Linux. It's powerful, free, easy to use, and it's secure (a little bit of sarcasm there :cheesy:). How secure though? Actually, without the right knowledge and procedure, your server could be one of the many vulnerable servers out … |

| | Hi, this never really bothered me before, but now it sort of does. My ADSL connection's IP address is DHCP assigned, and when I first got it, I just plugged it into my Mac, and it worked painlessly, so I never gave it much more thought. But one thing I … |
| | I finally got one of those MacBook beauties! So I set about putting Wine on it so I can finally access some of the programs I've been missing out on as a Mac user. So when I try to run Darwine, it says it can't find the truetype libraries. When … |
| | My iMac G5 has had this problem already for a little while, and I think it's in need of codecs reinstall. iTunes and QuickTime work normally, but that's about it. RealPlayer and Windows Media Player 9 play video, but without sound. Same goes for their respective browser plugins. I think …  |
The End.
